“Hope is the thing with feathers That perches in the soul And sings the tune without the words And never stops at all.”

“Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.”

“If you’re reading this… Congratulations, you’re alive. If that’s not something to smile about, then I don’t know what is.”

“Do not read, as children do, to amuse yourself, or like the ambitious, for the purpose of instruction. No, read in order to live.”

“Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art…. It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things which give value to survival.”

“Two wrongs don’t make a right, but they make a good excuse.”

“First they ignore you. Then they ridicule you. And then they attack you and want to burn you. And then they build monuments to you.”

Lol. Enjoy.
